This year the club members present selected Wescot Sportsman's Club as the

New Link
Added
I recently
received a proposed link to add to the general links page. We all know the
importance of good eyesight for successful shooting. Visioncenter.org has a lot
of interesting articles regarding vision problems. I added a link to the article
about Aging and Eyesight. Spend some time exploring the site.

Young Hunters
Many of us are

grandchildren along with us? Check out the links page for an interesting article
under Miscellaneous Links titled : Young Hunters: When to get children started.
Colleges with
Trap and Skeet Programs
If you enjoy trap
or skeet shooting, are in high school, and you're planning to attend college,
you might want to consider schools that have strong trap and skeet programs.
Attached is a list that could help get you connected with a college that can
provide the major you are looking for and competitive shotgun shooting
opportunities.
Occasional
Site Outages
I
recently received a note through the mail that people were unable to access the
site. After a lot of time on the phone and on chats, and lots of research on my
own, it turned out that the counter that
I had been using since 2012 was linked with a site that was blacklisted with the
hosting service's new malware scanner. I removed the code for the old counter
and installed one from a different site. I no longer get any notifications that
there is malware on the site. The issue should be resolved, but a couple of days
ago, the site was down again. I had to reset a file, and the site came back up.
I will continue to try to monitor the site for this issue.
If anyone notes that the site is down
in the future, please email me at
webmaster@eastwisconsinshotgunsports.org. Thank you.

Shooting event to support
Cancer Research
I was given some
information about an organization called Gunning For Hope. The web site is
GunningForHope.org. Check out the
organization and consider supporting them.
Thanks to all who support "Cause Shoots".
We are all faced with challenges in our lives,
but some take the form of serious health issues such as cancer, heart disease,
diabetes, etc. Many fellow shooters are directly affected by these diseases, and
other shooters rally to support them with fund raisers in the form of "Cause
Shoots", such as the cancer shoots at Berlin and Hartford and the juvenile
diabetes shoot at Eastshore. I personally want to thank all of you who support
these wonderful causes.
REMEMBER:
INTRODUCE SOMEONE TO SHOOTING. IT'S THE FUTURE OF THE SPORT
